Consensus: With plenty of pooches and a memorable villain (Cruella De Vil), this is one of Disney's most enduring, entertaining animated films.
Theatrical Release:Jan 25, 1961 Wide
Synopsis: When the wicked Cruella de Vil and her henchmen kidnap Dalmatian puppies for their cherished spotted fur, it is up to the puppies' parents, Pongo and Perdita, and some brave farm animals, to free... When the wicked Cruella de Vil and her henchmen kidnap Dalmatian puppies for their cherished spotted fur, it is up to the puppies' parents, Pongo and Perdita, and some brave farm animals, to free the caged canines. Though 101 DALMATIANS has fewer songs than many of its animated brethren, the essential musical number "Cruella de Vil" is as much fun as any 10 tracks. Based on the book by Dodie Smith, this Walt Disney animated classic spawned the 1996 live-action remake, as well as a sequel called 101 DALMATIANS II: PATCH'S LONDON ADVENTURE. [More]

Reviews for 101 Dalmatians
Buena Vista's 2-Disc Platinum Edition of 101 Dalmatians stands proudly next to its predecessors in quantity and quality, serving up a feast for both children and adults.
One Hundred and One Dalmatians has gotten an excellent restored transfer, and has probably never looked (or sounded) better. The extras are detailed and informative enough to compensate for the lack of a commentary track, and the whole thing is yet anothe
So long as Disney's never made any bones about finding the whole female race either bland or evil, I have no trouble embracing the studio's biggest bitch of them all.
Cruella De Vil will live on in memory long after any of the other humans or animals in the story have faded from memory. (Platinum Edition)
